All eyes now turn to Jlerlin and Paris, to see if the German reichstag and the French parliament will support Chancellor Marx and Premier Herrlot in their bold step. Doth premiers belong to minority governments which are none too sta ble and the reaction of the German and French peoples will be watched with some apprehension until their executive bodies approve, and make it possible for German and French representatives to meet with the rep resentatives of the other interested powers at Paris August 30 and attacli their formal signatures to the docu menta.

Newton, Mgr. Cor. Main and Webb Sts. Pendleton BUSINESS CARDS TROM her box, fair Polly caught a dash of color athwart the dull black of the orchestra below her, and Pierre, In his gold-braided, red-topped cap and military cape and French-blue coat, took his first-row seat. The cur tain rose and still Polly, whose bright brown eyes and curling locks had snared all hearts In her home town, watched Pierre. With lips half-parted, she leaned over the edge ; he looked ; their glances met ; something sharp cut through the medals on his breast. Un til they met there was for them no peace, no rest. The curtain fell amid applause, and Polly, who knew all there was to know about The Game, with one sweet look and a hint or two had sent a svvuln by hook or crook to bring Pierre to her box. But when the swain reached the first row there was no Pierre to be seen ; French wit moved faster than dramatic action. Meanwhile Polly, baffled In her plans, grew more and more distrait. The second uct was almost through, and stiil Pierre's seat remained empty. Again the curtain fell. A footstep sounded behind her. She turned and saw Pierre Just entering her box door, behind him a friend to pronounce the introduction. The benediction, "Chere mndemolselle," murmured he. "Mister Pierre," said she. The horrid fact lay there grinning between them she had no French, and he had no English, and tempus was fugltlng In a most terrifying manner. Speaking more loudly and more loudly, she tried to make herself understood. "Qu" est-ce que e'est?" cried Pierre, anxious lest he lose any precious pearls, and bending imploring at her side. She raised her voice more. "If you ," she 6ald. "Comment?" he asked. The minutes fled. "If you like 1" screamed the maiden. To poor Pierre Polly's unduly loud tones seemed anger. He turned. He fled. And he never knew that bawling Polly was only trying to make her meaning her tender mennlng clear to his French ears w hen she w as rais ing that unholy din.

SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS DO NOT fall to put up for the fam ily some of the choice cherry recipes, (merry olives is one which will be enjoyed In the winter and is very simple to prepare. Cherry Olives. Take fresh well-washed, unbrulsed cherries with the stems left on the finest and largest cherries are kept for this. Fill Jars with them and then cover with good, strong cider vlnegur and water in equal parts ; udd a table spoonful of suit to each quart Jar, seal and set away for winter. Uncooked Conserve. Take any amount of pitted cherries and cover them with good vinegar over night. In the morning drain off the vlnegur and add as much sugar as cherries by measure. Stir until well dissolved, place In a stone crock, cover wdth a cloth and plate and they are ready to serve In a few weeks. They will keep ull the year and are a de licious zest for meats. The richest, best-flavored cherries are, of course, the kind to put up In this way. The sour cherry Is fine canned us usual for pies. Light Rolls. To two cupfuis of bread flour add one-quarter of a cupful of yeast, one and one-half cupfuis of milk and water mixed, one teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoonfuls each of sugar and but ter; beat well and let stand until light and full of bubbles.
